Worship Lyrics

O Come, O Come Emmanuel

[Verse 1]
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

[Refrain]
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

[Verse 2]
O come, O Wisdom from on high
who ordered all things mightily
to us the path of knowledge show
and teach us in its ways to go

[Verse 3]
O come, O come, great Lord of might
who to your tribes on Sinai's height
in ancient times did give the law
in cloud and majesty and awe

[Verse 4]
O come, O Branch of Jesse's stem
unto your own and rescue them
From depths of hell your people save
and give them victory o'er the grave

[Verse 5]
O come, O Key of David, come
and open wide our heavenly home
Make safe for us the heavenward road
and bar the way to death's abode

[Verse 6]
O come, O Bright and Morning Star
and bring us comfort from afar
Dispel the shadows of the night
and turn our darkness into light

[Verse 7]
O come, O King of nations, bind
in one the hearts of all mankind
Bid all our sad divisions cease
and be yourself our King of Peace
